Hello, (apologies for the cross-posting, I'm not sure which is the best path to follow here) We're trying to build a pair of 2.2.8 servers around Intel L440GX+ Mobos w/ an integrated Adaptec AIC-7896 controller, and we've learned (ack!) that 2.2.8 does not support U2W LVD SCSI natively. It appears we need the CAM drivers. However, since this is a virgin install, we need a bootable floppy that we can use to get the SCSI gear recognized for an install, or some other way to install 2.2.8 from scratch. If someone can schlep a boot image this way that includes CAM support, or if there is a more sane way, please advise. We have some old 1542 cards around but they obviously can't juggle the U2W LVD drives we've got in there, or we'd gen a kernel on that config to get off the ground. We also have a PCI 2940-U2W card we could yank from a server for a few hours if necessary, but we'd prefer not to do that if at all possible. Thanks!
